Cardboard VR videos incompatible?

A

AC Question

I can't seem to get local 3D videos to work on my Galaxy S4 with Cardboard, and unless I'm using the wrong search terms, Google has never heard of my issue. I should clarify that any type of 2D format works fine, even 360 degree formats, but if it's supposed to be in 3D, with depth and all that, I just can't get it to work. Either I get a blank screen, a blank screen with audio, or just an incompatibility warning. I've tried 3 different apps, VaR's VR player, AAA VR Cinema, and VR Player Free, but none of them do any good. The videos I've tried to play so far are mp4s.

And yes, if anyone brings it up I did already ask this question on xda, but that was before I noticed that questions can literally take months to get answered over there. Didn't feel like waiting that long, so here I am :)

Normally I can solve technical problems on my own, but this one has me completely stumped. Any ideas?
